Police officer who shot Rayshard Brooks wants his job back as he awaits murder trial Lateshia Beachum
Replay Video UP NEXT A former Atlanta police officer facing a charge of felony murder in the shooting of Rayshard Brooks last year wants to be reinstated. Garrett Rolfe and his attorney, Lance LoRusso, argued before Atlanta’s civil service board on Thursday that Rolfe wasn’t given a fair amount of time to defend himself against his firing, which happened just a day after the June 12, 2020, shooting that resulted in the death of the 27-year-old Black man. Brooks was shot by officers after they responded to calls about a man asleep in a car at a Wendy’s drive-through. The young father of four had initially cooperated, but when officers tried to arrest him, a scuffle ensued. Widely circulated video showed Brooks pointing a Taser at officers.

When she reported the abuse to the state police, she claims that the commanders either did not want to hear it, or they did not believe her, and they failed to intervene and stop the domestic violence.
